ROANOKE, Va. – Roanoke City Council will discuss amending a contract with the Grater Roanoke Transit Company. The City would acquire the Campbell Court property, where the bus terminal is currently located, in exchange for the land on Salem Avenue where a new bus terminal is proposed. The original contract required the transaction to take place before September 30th. The amendment extends the deadline to March 31st. Last month, the Board of Zoning Appeals denied a special exception permit for the project. The city has said it will change zoning regulations to allow a bus terminal.
